Explicit awareness supports conditional visual search in the retrieval guidance paradigm
In four experiments we explored whether participants would be able to use probabilistic prompts to simplify perceptually demanding visual search in a task we call the retrieval guidance paradigm. On each trial a memory prompt appeared prior to (and during) the search task and the diagnosticity of the prompt(s) was manipulated to provide complete, partial, or non-diagnostic information regarding...
متن کاملThe Rules of Guidance in Visual Search
It is impossible to identify all objects in the visual world at the same time. Accordingly, we must direct attention to specific objects in order to fully recognize them. The deployment of attention is far from random. Attention is guided toward likely targets by a limited set of stimulus attributes such as color and size (“classic guidance”). Attention is also guided by a number of scenebased ...
متن کاملCoarse guidance by numerosity in visual search.
In five experiments, we examined whether the number of items can guide visual focal attention. Observers searched for the target area with the largest (or smallest) number of dots (squares in Experiment 4 and "checkerboards" in Experiment 5) among distractor areas with a smaller (or larger) number of dots. Results of Experiments 1 and 2 show that search efficiency is determined by target to dis...
متن کاملConditional probability modulates visual search efficiency
We investigated the effects of probability on visual search. Previous work has shown that people can utilize spatial and sequential probability information to improve target detection. We hypothesized that performance improvements from probability information would extend to the efficiency of visual search. Our task was a simple visual search in which the target was always present among a field...
متن کاملInformation retrieval for children based on the Aggregated search paradigm
The Internet is increasingly being used by children for information and entertainment purposes. Moreover, it has recently shown that children are often trusted to search the Internet on their own [12]. Unfortunately, most of the current Information Retrieval (IR) systems are designed for adults and previous studies have shown that the information needs and search approaches of children and adul...
